Many of us enjoy a side venture during the Nation's Cup. Nation's Cup Fantasy Team Play.
What is that? Simple: Pick a team of 7 players you think will end up with the best winning percentage by the time the NC Round Robin phase is complete.

Rules For this year:

YOUR TEAM
You have 25,700 ELO to spend on players (see fantasy team note below for list of players ).
You choose a team of 7 players from across 7 different teams. (no need for a captain this year)
You may not include players from your own team in your initial selection.

NEW RULE Any player chosen for a fantasy team that has a lower ELO than 3300, will still be counted as a 3300
NO transfers. Who you pick in beginning, is who you get for all the Round Robin weeks.

SIMPLE SCORINGAny player playing that week, we mark their record.
So your week score is total record of your players wins and losses.
(so total record will be recorded of your fantasy team players)
Teams will be ranked by the winning percentage. (%)
There will be weekly winners posted, as well as an overall winner.

Your team must be posted here by the start of Nations Cup, ahead of the first round robin match. How they are written at that time, is what is set for the weeks of Round Robin Play.When listing your team, All Teams when placed into competition must have with full IDs behind their listing in order to participate!
(Dom, knock or maximour will have a note for the ticki page about the Fantasy games.)

Winner just gets bragging rights, and many congratulation PMs.

example: sample team went like this: During week two, player a went 3-0, player b went 2-3, player c went 3-0, player d was off that week, player e went 1-3, player f was off, player g was off. Fantasy team total for that week = 9-6 winning percentage .600
You can see the way it worked by looking back 4 pages of FORUM to last years NC Fantasy Team threads.

Red players are more interested in going to concerts for a 60 year-old audience (toutoune), in touring for a hard-rock band (Néo) or in simply composing an album (b9) instead of focusing on TTR.
I had to fit in the team, and to fight to promote my tastes !
Click on the song for each player

Note to the TD : revamp your French music knowledge ! French can be more modern and more fun than Julien Clerc and Vanessa Paradis.

blubesElo=3702 ID=441955 >>Stamina<<
Video clip says it all. 2000% meant for blubes, who can be THE only inspiration.
He was once a fat lady who died on his hometrainer eating a burger. In a second life, he died throwing up in the toilet, showing his buttcrack. Clearly in good shape for NC.

ommie AMPElo=3693 ID=417544 >>Poison lips<<
Everybody wants to kiss who was once Barbie. Will, who supposedly dated her for 3 years -probably more like 3 seconds on a Will scale-, happened to be ultra confident in his skills (can you believe that?) and went to kiss her. Alas, ommie's poisoned lips just gave him the special ability of talking bullsh*t for the rest of his life.

maf - l'étoileElo=3774 ID=496686 >>Poney part 1<<
He thinks he is hung like a horse, but he's only a poney.
Poney's attributes still hurt though.

SOS TruckertellerElo=3766 ID=388255>>La Rock 01<<
Listen to the song : you feel like nothing happens, you are relaxed, that match is gonna be a cakewalk.
Without notice, the beating brings you back to reality... Too late, Truck and the tune get in your head, everything is out of control...
You are just getting rocked by my neighber Rockerteller !

TIC wasdennElo=3629 ID=169223 >>No Fun<<
Your match-up is a talented German who plays slower than chris, boman and tom together.
Yeah, you got it : NO FUN !

CAT-pegasoElo=3622 ID=215593 >>Second lives<<
After a campaign with BTB, I convinced Pegaso to share this videoclip enterily made in a restroom.
He looks dead on the board... When you look at the final scores, he has ressurected. Not only he has a second life, but he also has second lives !

Only one song could fit with me and could make Drake happy.>>TRAHISON<<

When you need a few hardened mercenaries of various national backgrounds, dubious histories, and questionable reputations for a dorky fantasy team in a tournament of a nerdy online board game, where do you turn?

(and yes that last player listed originally appeared in my Nightmare Fantasy list, before the switch. But some may notice, 7 countries represented since that last onelives in USA. So yes, onyx rocks the world.)

You Will WIN!!! Gotta keep with my theme the last 2 years and pick people NOT in my group!

daedin 3788 (177058) - this twinnie is a major dominator, good luck trying to figure him out
knockando 3734 (597411) - he killed me in FUN tourney, so obviously that will give him luck in NC
Lexx 3643 (425772) - he graciously 'let' his wife win in their tourney matchup this year, no freebies for anyone else
Truckerteller 3766 (388255) - the TD is all-powerful, if you disagree...you're going to have issues
wasdenn 3629 (169223) - this sneaky guy has super spanking powers...beware!
Elric-Sancerre 3751 (100728) - he's a very selfish guy...keeping all the locos, good colors and good tix for himself
SuperPello 3334 (699796) - well...he has 'Super' in his name, what else is needed?
